We rented a car last minute and drove down on a Sunday. Should have prepared more but everything worked out really well.
No one speaks English so renting a board was a pain in the @$$. We were able to rent two boards a 7' 6" fun shape for me (with duck tape all over it) and a 9" 6" LB missing the center fin for my friend. The boards were way to big for the waves and had zero rocker to them so it was certainly a challenge but still a ton of fun.
Considering it was Sunday there weren't very many people out. Seems like a really fun town. If your single and surf this is a good destination for you and your bros to go.
The women here are 10 times hotter then the girls in the city. I love Brazilian cut bikinis!
It was a 2.5 hour drive from Sao Paulo. While the roads were good (toll roads) in beginning your on a single lane highway for most of the drive. Be careful as there are speed bumps on the highway and some are poorly marked.
